The power of the Russian Air Force far exceeds that of the Ukrainian army. However, the Russian military planes fly over the territory controlled by the Ukrainian military.

US President Biden believes that such an action will involve the United States and its NATO allies in the conflict. conflict in Russia. “It’s not a matter of will; it’s a matter of judgment, and we can do a lot more effectively than fight a nuclear-armed Russia,” Venable said.
He stressed that the Javelin and Stinger missiles NATO provided Ukraine proved to be the most effective weapons, while calling on the United States to double down on providing Ukraine with the necessary tools, especially in the air, to repel Russia.
